Hello list. I'm trying to use CUPS for the first time, with all the good things I've heard/read about it on this list. I'm mainly trying to use it as I've got an OfficeJet G85 that I've never used with FreeBSD and linuxprinting.org has a 'mostly' working driver. Here's what I've done thus far: I've installed CUPS, and have a running daemon. I can login and install printers. I've downloaded the recommended the correct .ppd file according to linuxprinting.org, and tried installing the foomatic scripts it says I need. When I try to print a test page, I get no output what-so-ever and no indication on the printer anything has even happened. I don't know where the CUPS logfile would be, so I can't read that. Anyone have any ideas? I also have a Brother HL-1440 that I've gotten working with apsfilter and lpd (it's a remote printer off a hardware printserver), but I'd like to get it working in CUPS, as it seems much easier to configure margins and such. Thanks for your help! -- Eric F Crist Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry, and the world WILL turn.
